How to Encircle Your Community with Jesus with Aaron Fozzard

In this conversation, Tina Waldrom interviews Reverend Aaron Fozzard, a church planter in Queensland, about how to encircle the community with Jesus. They discuss the significant shift in the church's position in society, noting that it is no longer seen as the central or most trusted institution by many people. Aaron emphasizes the importance of being present and engaged in everyday spaces, such as cafes and saunas, to create opportunities for starting conversations about faith. He shares his personal experiences of connecting with people in these settings, using these moments to discuss faith and the teachings of Jesus. Additionally, they highlight Encircle Church's involvement in men's mental health and other community outreach initiatives.

The conversation underscores the importance of being obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and actively caring for and blessing those around us. Encircle Church aims to encircle the community with Jesus by being a present and positive force, meeting people's needs, and showing them the love of Christ. By engaging in everyday spaces and focusing on the well-being of the community, the church strives to make a meaningful impact on individuals' lives. This approach reflects a shift from traditional church settings to more accessible and relatable environments, fostering genuine connections and faith discussions.
